Former Liverpool defender Steven Caulker has hit out at the 'scandalous' and 'unacceptable' position he and the rest of his Wigan Athletic team-mates have been put in.
The Sky Bet Championship’s bottom club have not paid players or staff on time on four occasions so far this season. That has already resulted in a three-point deduction by the EFL for breaching an agreement the Latics had with the governing body in January, when they accepted a suspended penalty.
Wigan have continued to play and train despite the disruptive off-pitch news throughout the season. However, their players, along with manager Shaun Maloney, have now taken the decision to stay away from the club's training ground until the situation is rectified.
